Cyclophilin and Trigger Factor from <i>Bacillus </i><i>s</i><i>ubtilis</i> Catalyze in Vitro Protein Folding and Are Necessary for Viability under Starvation Conditions
1 Sept 1998
Abstract excerpt
Cyclophilin (the product of the ppiB gene) and the trigger factor (the product of the tig gene) are the only cytosolic peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerases that are known in Bacillus subtilis. Both enzymes catalyze the in vitro refolding of ribonuclease T1, a reaction that is limited in rate by a prolyl cis/trans isomerization. The efficiency of cyclophilin as a folding catalyst is only modest with a kcat/KM...
